Sapid Soil is a public programme that insists on the possibilities of food habits and policies to become tools for the emergence and redistribution of amphibious worlds for a past, present and future still possible to recover. Through culinary events, performances, and workshops, the programme begins its exploration in the salinised farmlands of the Venice Lagoon, expanding on the entanglements between humans and halophytes. These relationships materialise the Lagoon as a submerged and briny geography, constructing paradigms of care that challenge contemporary notions of ruination and are instead grounded in non-human temporal perspectives.
